Isolation of Xenopus LMP-7 homologues. Striking allelic diversity and linkage to MHC.

Abstract excerpt

The mammalian low molecular mass protein-7 (LMP-7) gene resides in the class II region of the MHC, and its product is most probably involved, as a component of a proteasome, in the processing of Ags to be presented by the MHC class I molecules. To elucidate the evolution of the LMP-7 gene at both the primary structure and genetic levels, we isolated LMP-7 cDNA clones from amphibian Xenopus laevis, which last...
